Swimmable Character Sprites?

is there a way for when a creature or player touches a certian sector [pref underwater/liquid] it goes to a swim state? until it leaves the area

Nope. It's impossible to detect the flat, and it's impossible to change states with scripts.

not even just for the player?
how about when the lung capacity meter in the corner shows up
your sprite changes to?
(IF YOU CAN IMPORT METERS ;/)

You can make a meter to measure how long you've been under water, and damage the player when ti runs down, but only if you use sector action things in conjunction with the player having a TID.

Complex stuff.

Dunno if it's available yet, but isn't this the purpose for having
A_JumpIf (waterlevel, int offset)?

If the walking sequence of the player is anything but a simple non-branching loop very strange things can happen so better don't even think about it.

Wait... you're telling me that all those times that function or something similar has been added, it's actually paid off at last?
